Loaded Cloud Eggs

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 or 3 slices nitrate-free bacon or turkey bacon
  • 4 large farm fresh eggs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • a pinch of sea salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees f. and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add bacon and cook until golden and crispy.
  • Transfer your cooked bacon to a plate lined with a paper-towel to remove excess grease and ensure crispness.
  • Once cool, crumble and set aside.
  • Separate the egg whites from their yolks, carefully, not to break the yolk.
  • Place whites and yolks in separate bowls.
  • Using an electric mixer or a hand beater; beat the whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully fold the parmesan cheese and green onions into your beaten egg whites.
  • Now using a large spoon, place 4 equal dollops of whites onto your prepared sheet pan, using all of your beaten egg white/cheese mixture.
  • Form the egg whites into "nests", making an indentation in the center for the yolks to eventually nestle into.
  • Place these egg white "nests" in your preheated oven and bake for 3 minutes.
  • After 3 minutes remove from the oven and very gently add an egg yolk into the center of each nest.
  • Season with some sea salt and pepper if desired.
  • Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top and bake for 3 minutes more until yolks are just set to your liking.
  • Enjoy while warm!
  • I sprinkled my finished product with a few more green onions and a tiny pinch of shaved Parm, just for looks!
